| Summary | "If You Touch Them They Vanish" by Gouverneur Morris is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of love, innocence, and the consequences of societal judgment, as it unfolds through the life of the Poor Boy, who finds himself wrongfully accused and imprisoned, and the unwavering loyalty of his caretaker, Martha. Set against a backdrop of rich imagery and deep emotional currents, the narrative explores the delicate interplay of trust, belief, and hope in human relationships. The plot centers on the journey of the Poor Boy, who, upon his release from prison, struggles to rebuild his life while grappling with the trauma of his false accusations. His only constant is Martha, who fiercely nurtures and protects him, while also trying to create a new home for him in a picturesque valley known as Joyous Guard. As he begins to explore his emotions, particularly for Miss Jocelyn Grey, whom he had unresolved feelings for before his incarceration, he must confront the fears tied to intimacy and connection. The story culminates in a series of poignant realizations about love's power and its ability to transcend even the harshest of realities, ultimately leading to a moment of redemption and clarity when he learns the truth about his past and the loyalty of those around him.
